Brilliant performance She ran 45.8 for the final 800m. Kiseki ran the opening 2000 in a tick over 1.57!

To be fear...she had the absolute perfect run...the only extra ground she covered was pulling out1 M

Imagine if she'd had to to 3 wide without cover!!

Can you imagine that?

No?

The time though...does it have anything to do with the no watering policy and the EXTRA hard concrete surface?

F me sorry...too many rhetorical questions..apols

When Horlicks won in 2-22-22 it was a 'world' record [disregard any USA times as they are cheating by starting times when they are at full gallop]

Thomas -the fastest times are usually run on a track with a little bit of give in it -not on concrete like stuff.

Yes so they say...but these Japanese times are constantly fast...and they try to have concrete tracks

...maybe their technology wrt grass management and choice of grass is second to none!

It was a top effort - beating the previous best Japan Cup by 1.5 seconds.

So whatever way you look at it, the performance is brilliant, best run or not. And she would have won 3 wide, no problem in my view. That's just one of those things we'll never know. The run of Kiseki was also top class.

As fantastic as that would be, I expect the timing of the Arc along with prospective weights make it unlikely.

Good point

I think Pop Rock and Delta Blues slashing Caulfield Cup runs are still fresh in my mind, they went on to quinella the MC

I usually don’t get involved with the Internationals until I know they’re in quarantine and heading for Aus

Straight after the race I put Kiseki in my 2019 Caulfield Cup folder

If I could choose one horse to come down under in 2019 it would be Enable for the CP but that’s highly unlikely as well wishful thinking on my behalf?
